At some stage she decided to make this sign & put it out for us to find.This is what I found this morning when I woke up

Just in case it happened to slip our minds ... just in case we happened to forget.We piled into her room & woke her up with a round of good ol 'happy birthday'.We didn't forget, could never forget & will never forget anything about you.

For the past hour I have been preparing tiny teddies in cars . Tiny teddies in cars that will be gobbled up in ten seconds flat by a class of seven year olds. Isabella so desperately wanted these to take to school to celebrate her upcoming birthday on the 28th.

That's my blue eyed girl Isabella on the left and my brown eyed girl Maggie on the right. Isabella is constantly creating and drawing. Maggie is very energetic, loud and mischevious. In her mind she is seven years old like Isabella and can do whatever her big sister can.

This is my beautiful sixteen year old niece Monique.Taken one morning late last year. I visited their household, camera in tow, hoping one of them would succumb to my pleas to let me practice photographing them. Monique, who had not long gotten out of bed, agreed. I was so excited. I hoped the camera would capture her essence, her dark eyes and perfect lips . And it did. Ain't she gorgeous?
